Christopher Wolfe was found guilty of two counts of felony murder, aggravated assault, arson in the first degree, and criminal possession of an explosive device in connection with the firebombing of an apartment and the resulting deaths of two young children and injury to their mother. Wolfe appeals his convictions, challenging the admission of “gang evidence”; the disqualification of a member of the venire; the composition of the jury; the court’s alleged restriction of cross-examination of a State’s witness; and the court’s refusal to find merger of the aggravated assault for the purpose of sentencing. Finding the challenges to be without merit, we affirm.1

The evidence construed in favor of the verdicts showed that on July 22, 1994, gas explosives were thrown into the apartment of Charmaine Henderson. She lived there with her two infant daughters, Donisha and Lexusous, and her friend Cantanius White. As a result, Henderson, although able to escape the apartment, was injured. Her two small children were not rescued and died of smoke inhalation. Christopher Wolfe, Cassandra Hefflin, Geneva Haith, and Kimjon Ingram, all of whom were members of the FOLKS street gang, were arrested and charged for the crimes.
